The Centre for Religion and Modernity cordially invites you to the book launch of the new publication by Prof. Dr Arnulf von Scheliha and Prof. Dr Hinnerk Wißmann ‘Religionsunterricht 4.0’ on 27 January 2025, 6 p.m. c.t., Johannisstr. 4.

Denominational religious education has increasingly become the subject of political and social controversy in Germany. The authors will discuss with Ulrich Willems the possibilities for the further development of religious education in schools in accordance with Article 7 (3) of the Basic Law. In their recently published book ‘Religionsunterricht 4.0’ (Religious Education 4.0), the authors have analysed the reasons for teaching religion in schools from the internal perspective of the religious communities. However, growing religious plurality and demographic change urgently call for a review of the current organisation - especially if the specific aims of religious education are to be maintained.

Following the event, the Centre for Religion and Modernity invites you to a drinks reception in the foyer.
